Sheiking Up Academia

amongst the first to bring together critical work on Middle English
romance and modern popular romance. I focus in particular on romances
which figure relationships between ‘east’ and ‘west’; Middle English
romances with relationships between Saracens and Christians (in
particular Bevis of Hampton, Floris and Blancheflur and The King of Tars) and a number of Mills & Boon ‘Modern Romance’ novels featuring sheikh heroes.

What Amy didn't mention when she posted here about the recent publication of her "Do knights still rescue damsels in
distress?: Reimagining the medieval in Mills & Boon historical
romance," is that she has now received official confirmation that she
has been awarded a doctorate and will be graduating in January from the
University of York.
